Telling Time in French - The 12-hour and 24-hour clock Today we are learning how to tell the time in French. In French, time is usually based on the 24-hour clock, like "military time". Instead of 1 to 11 a.m., followed by 12 to 11 p.m., the clock continues counting up from 12, so that 1 p.m. is 13, 2 p.m. is 14, all the way up to 24. But if you want to use the 12-hour clock, add: • du matin: In the morning, until noon. • de l’après-midi: From noon until 6 p.m. • du soir: From 6 p.m. until midnight. The French use a little "h" instead of the colon (:) when writing down the time. 10h00 NOT 10:00
